More Rice-fuelled stupidity:
After queueing hours for an autograph, unsuspecting admirers were told the Olympic medallists [Stephanie Rice and Eamon Sullivan, appearing at a Melbourne shopping centre] would sign only Davenport-branded clothing. Some fans swore and left.
After 2 1/2 hours in the Myer basement queue, St Albans woman Jade Gunn, 21, burst into tears when Rice told her: “We only do Davenport.”
Ms Gunn spent about $300 to fly to Sydney on Tuesday to get the pair’s signatures on a T-shirt, but missed them at the airport… Ms Gunn said she had skipped work-for-the-dole job training to be there yesterday and she might lose benefits.
Memo to Ms Gunn: it occurred to me that you might intend forging a career online, flogging off oodles of Rice-Sullivan memorabilia: signed pics, old cossies, plaster-casts of Steph’s man-pouch, etc. But if that’s the case you’re going about it entirely the wrong way. For one thing, there’s no need to obtain genuine signatures, as most of the crap on e-buy is homemade. A permanent sharpie and a faded old pair of Speedos is all that’s required. Just make sure you spell their names right. Not too many little love-hearts though, like those on your fingers. Avoid the semi-colons too.
Alternatively, you could just get a real job, like the rest of us. Just a thought.
